https://www.autosport.com/motogp/news/miller-tv-coverage-of-fatal-mugello-moto3-crash-unacceptable/6518851/

On Saturday at the Italian Grand Prix, 19-year-old Moto3 rider Dupasquier was involved in a horrible accident in Moto3 qualifying and sustained injuries which would ultimately prove fatal. At the time it happened, a replay of the accident was shown on the world feed coverage before live shots of his trackside medical assistance was continually shown during the red flag delay.

Miller was unhappy with this on Saturday, but admitted that evening he forced the Ducati hospitality TVs to be unplugged due to the volume of replays of the crash that were being shown.

"Last night [Saturday] I had a dinner, we had Sky TV on in the hospitality and I made everybody unplug all the TVs because at the end I think I saw 10 fucking replays of the crash," Miller fumed.

"And I think this is unacceptable more than anything. You don't know the situation, you don't know what's happening. We were all hoping and praying and for them to keep playing this shit shouldn't happen."

"That they have access to this footage, it shouldn't be there. But that's the world we live in at the moment, it's all about media and getting views. So, it is what it is."

facts

[hearty steeple]

The australians really do be speaking factual statements when it comes to crash footage

[spark bay]

Oh hey that guy who said the n word won the coke 600

[open raptor]

Yeah

[open raptor]

Exactly never should a crash replay be shown unless confirmed the driver is ok first.fucking disgraceful

oh no

[lethal yacht]

He's just a real gamer

[lethal steeple]

i saw the first 50 laps of the 600 miles and i got immediately bored

i do remember larson pulled a massive gap with no draft

sooo. i guess.

[lethal yacht]

Welp Larson won

I missed it idk who won anyways.

Larson is just trying to make a Comeback. He may have said it. But he did addressed it very well back then months later. Ik some people are still going to be very critical on him because he's too good.

[spark bay]

A good way to adress it would have been to not say the n word on live tv

Which is very easy actually, i haven’t done it

[lethal yacht]

He addressed it months after when he was at news talking about this situation

Plus it was in a iracing invitational event through livestreams. Not on TV.

[spark bay]

Makes no difference

It was put on tv in america or something wasn’t it

I remember that but wether or not it’s true it really doesn’t matter, the n word doesn’t slip out of your mouth like that if you’re a normal person

Incredibly yikes

[lethal steeple]

Yeah you just don't say the n word period

no excuse

[lethal yacht]

Absolutely

[lethal steeple]

Oh i was gaming

Ok and

I dont fully agree on this redemption arc nor Nascar pardoning him back to the series

But whatever

[spark bay]

Guys it’s ok if he said a racial slur because he is actually a very good driver

[lethal steeple]

This sentiment is shared across lots and lots of other racing drivers

Oh they did X which is bad but hey they were good on track

so they're good right

[lethal yacht]

I mean I'm black so.....
.
but I personally think he's trying to make a Comeback I'm honestly eh to this guy
.
I'm really hoping he doesn't say it again. Like I agree both of you. He shouldn't say it in the first place.

[tight quiver]

I hope whoever hit the fucking replay button is getting fired and never gets hired by any other company ever

[lethal yacht]

Yeah. Honestly it shouldn't be replayed in the first place.

[hearty anchor]

i'm a big supporter of fatal crash footage not being locked away or made unavailable to people who want to watch it

but there's a world of difference between that and replaying the accident on the live tv feed

[limpid steppe]

I am so stupid

[midnight kite]

Weird that Aussie guys are ashamed on incident replays... Not saying anything about their decisions but it's just weird...

Ricci hated when they kept replaying the RoGro accident too...

[hearty anchor]

i think i'm a little bit more sympathetic to showing the grosjean crash

we knew he was 'ok' pretty much straight away, and it was such a holy shit moment i think it was sinking in for everyone

and imo the accident itself was covered very tastefully

Marque founder Jim Glickenhaus made the comment after the conclusion of a successful 30-hour endurance simulation for his new 007 LMH at Aragon last weekend.
The Pipo Motors-powered machine completed approaching 5000km over the course of the test on Friday and Saturday and was delayed by only one significant problem.

and how fucking great some of the cars were?

or is that #pitstop

[lethal yacht]

Chief this'd go to Classic coz it's before 2001

[tidal viper]

oh yea

thx

[minor inlet]

imagine indycar at daytona and talladega

😳

[lethal yacht]

Nowadays it'd be kinda hot but like... They tried it, and it didn't go well

In the turn of the 70's

[minor inlet]

yeah i can picture that

never seen anything about it

but can picture what happened

[lethal yacht]

In 1969 they went to Daytona I think? And it DIDN'T GO WELL

[chrome grove]

they tried ir

i assume you want pack racing

and THAT also doesnt go well

[lethal yacht]

But in 1974 or so, A.J Foyt set the closed course record at 217? With his Coyote-Foyt before getting smashed by the 917/30 the next year

[chrome grove]

im pretty sure they wanted to race at at talledega in the first split

[minor inlet]

fuck off 217 in 74?

their steel balls dragging across the track musta hurt

[lethal yacht]

Yeah, then a 917/30 with Donohue set 221 with 1,200hp of the available 1,580 coz they decided to go with the /10K's 5.0

[minor inlet]

damn

[chrome grove]

221 in the 70s

das lap average right

[minor inlet]

a modern indycar could probably go about 245, 250 depending on temperature

[lethal yacht]

So he had like a speed split of like... 240 something straights with 210 corners

That 70's efficiency

[minor inlet]

nope ive already shat myself even thinking about that

[lethal yacht]

A Modern IndyCar could probably beat the record pretty easy if the circuit based boost changes were yoinked

[minor inlet]

ya

[chrome grove]

pretty sure somebody peaked a top speed of 250 at michigan in the 90s iirc

FART

[minor inlet]

didnt they test indycars in the naughties at daytona

[lethal yacht]

Yeah in 2005 they did a test and came to the shocking realisation that

No

[minor inlet]

lol

the crazy thing is

drivers would be up for it

[lethal yacht]

241.428 average official, 242.333 unofficial, so that's probably a speed split of 255-232?

[minor inlet]

also aeroscreen did its job yesterday

tyre woulda hit someone in the face if it werent there so

cant remember who tho

[lethal yacht]

I... It didn't look like it actually hit Conor's screen, just the nose

But the likelyhood is PHAT

[minor inlet]

idk i didnt watch it in slow motion

came close anyway

[chrome grove]

it rolled up i think

[minor inlet]

yum

the cars look like chew bars

id eat an old indycar tbh

[lethal yacht]

I wouldn't think they're too tasty

I doubt they have the Lead based paint the toys did

[minor inlet]

i was gonna say i love the taste of rocket fuel but that was f1 in the 80s lol

I love how people like to say it's Rocket Fuel to make it so dangerous and woah

It's toluene afaik... Which is in Petrol anyway

https://racingnews365.com/norris-i-would-love-to-do-le-mans-and-the-indy-500

Lando Norris has revealed he would love to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Indy 500 at some point during his career.

"I would love to do both Le Mans and the Indy 500," Norris told Sky Sports. "To start with I would do Le Mans. I did the 24 Hours of Daytona a few years ago. I loved that and I feel more ready to have a go at something like that. The Indy 500 is definitely something further down the line in many years to come."

McLaren have a two-car team in IndyCar whilst a return to Le Mans has been on the cards in recent years. Fernando Alonso was allowed to compete at Indianapolis in 2017 when he was racing with McLaren in F1 and Norris would like to emulate the two-time world champion although he did not specify when.

"The cars look cool. I get annoyed every time I watch IndyCar because it makes me want to get up and drive again. They are very different to what I'm used to."

[modern spade]

hmmm so they're going to bet on Leucona to improve

weird

then again leucona's contract is in the hands of poncharal

and petrux's is in the hands of KTM

[modern spade]

so dum

like transfer of tech from bloody SF to SGT

[lethal steeple]

petrux is going to WSBK

[modern spade]

ik

or Gresini

[lethal steeple]

P sure he's out of GP

It's gonna be Oli+Bin and Gar+whoever herve signs

[normal spear]

Raúl Fernández

i hope

although lecuona is starting to get better and raul probably wants another year in moto2

[lethal steeple]

Fernandez gonna do the Mir strat of not winning a title in Moto3 nor Moto2

nah

[normal spear]

not winning a title in moto3?

guy did go and destroy everyone in that series in 2017 and won the title

i think raul could probably win the title this year anyway

will be him or remy for sure

[modern spade]

leucona

raul

if he had a bit better timing

he would have won the moto3 title

at a canter

the guy was fucking winning races like Mir by bloody seconds at the season end

[lethal steeple]

Arenas is a lightweight guy I like to think

[modern spade]

yeah

[lethal steeple]

He's not gonna do much in Moto2

[modern spade]

or just a diesel engine

it took him 4 years in the class

to win the title

might be a similar timeframe for moto2

[lethal steeple]

Or perhaps not

[modern spade]

Mir didn't even win in moto2

lel

fair

[lethal steeple]

yeah

[modern spade]

like canet has got speed

[lethal steeple]

Locatelli was super impressive in Moto3 and then

[modern spade]

and he spent similar time in moto3

[lethal steeple]

Moto2, bam, dumped to obscurity

[modern spade]

pretty eh in moto2

how many seasons did he spend in moto2

?

[modern spade]

tbf

he's now a WSBK rising star

[lethal steeple]

3

[modern spade]

in the Yamaha Factory team

dang

no podiums too

ig he never gelled with it

went to SSP

butchered everyone

[lethal steeple]

And i dont even know how

[modern spade]

series veterans included

yeah

[lethal steeple]

He just obliterated the class

[modern spade]

SSP is a yoke now

[lethal steeple]

He's still getting used to the big guns in WSBK

[modern spade]

got a top 5

[lethal steeple]

Impressive performance on Race 2 last weekend

[modern spade]

still believe Gerloff deserved a promotion

[lethal steeple]

But then, his teammate is Toprak

The next superbike alien

(or current?)

[modern spade]

the current is rea

toprak can win the title

if he consistently has rea matching pace

redding choking again

sike

[lethal steeple]

Redding seemed so focused in Estoril

[modern spade]

the crash was so wack

like how

[lethal steeple]

Then he let Rea get thru his head on Race 2

Lost the front

So yeah if Redding keeps losing focus like that

Toprak has a challenge for Rea

And even so, Rea has pushed the boundaries in WSBK like no other rider

[modern spade]

lowes has been shit

[lethal steeple]

In order to beat him you have to make 0 mistakes

[modern spade]

wingman redux for rea

essentially to hold rea up and beat him

we need multiple riders on his pace

each race

[lethal steeple]

Gerloff, Toprak, Redding, maybe Rinaldi too

otherwise

Its another Rea championship

And another and another

[modern spade]

sigh

toprak also i think made a mistake

[lethal steeple]

which?

[modern spade]

moving to Yamaha

i mean better wages sure

but like sykes was outta the door

and he was gonna ride for Provec

and at Pucetti he had a factory bike

[lethal steeple]

perhaps kawa wasn't looking for him then

idk

[modern spade]

Nah

Yams offered more money

And he bolted

[lethal steeple]

Money talks

[modern spade]

indeed it does

being team's no.1 focus does too

[lethal steeple]

thankfully indy is out of nbc at the end of the yea r

[normal spear]

i don't think that is going to stop someone else piling ads on

[lethal steeple]

can definitely change how they're broadcasted

it was worse on the canadian feed

there was no picture-by-picture until the very end of the race

[normal spear]

apart from that i like the guys at nbc

Leigh Diffey is one of my favorite anchors

paul tracy and townsend bell can be a laugh as well

plus i watch from sky anyway so ads are fine

just goes to the raw footage although for the 500 i had to listent to the nonsense of lando norris

[lethal steeple]

how was he

[normal spear]

basically only there because they got invited to the mtc

[lethal steeple]

yeah but how was he

[normal spear]

meh

bit repetitive

idk if that was because the questions being asked were just too general

but he likely knows little about indycar

idk why they didn't just try and find some old guys

like mike conway

[lethal steeple]

franchitti!

[normal spear]

think he was probably at the 500

Assuming there are no withdrawals between now and the Italian race scheduled for July 18, it will mark the second-largest grid the series has ever assembled outside of the Le Mans 24 Hours - only falling short of the 2012 Spa 6 Hours, which featured a massive 42 cars.
It also signifies a four-car increase on last month's season opener at Spa, and a six-car increase over the 32-car field that is ...Keep reading

whether it's idle curiosity, to help them understand what happened, to try and get some sort of closure, or even just out of morbidity

[final cloak]

Never watched Speed Racer, but Super GT also has NGE inspired liveries

[lethal yacht]

Yeah there's more

The liveries in Super GT are fantastic

[final cloak]

They are

There's also one that's just solid black

[lethal yacht]

Someone is seriously going to get Fired in the Moto GP Production zone. They shouldn't replay it at all.
.
Also what I saw is just Graphic and Depressing.

[hearty anchor]

agreed that they shouldn't have played those replays

let people watch if they want to, but don't sit and force people to see what happened on the world feed

[lethal yacht]

Exactly.

I remember seeing someone making Fatal Crashes in BMG Driver and the title alone is just disgusting.

Indy oval talk from #formula-1

Pocono is fucking dangerous, so I definitely wouldn't go there nowadays
It's quite lacking in safety

[lethal yacht]

Yeah bit of a bad history

IndyCar is never returning to Pocono ever again

[buoyant shale]

So Homestead is currently the most likely I think
Iowa... I hope it comes back
But what else could come

Kentucky? Maybe?

[lethal yacht]

I wish I can See Pheonix back at the Calendar

[buoyant shale]

Haven't really seen that mentioned much
What does that even host nowadays

[lethal yacht]

NASCAR season Finale Nowadays

Texas Motor Speedway...um
.
ruined basically

[buoyant shale]

They need to completely repave that thing

And don't put that black stuff on it

[lethal yacht]

Yeah no need for thar

[buoyant shale]

Because that makes the top lanes basically like going into a gravel trap

Iirc the goal of it was to make NASCAR races better at it

But
I don't know if they even achieved that

[lethal yacht]

Idk either

There's also the Charlotte Roval too

[buoyant shale]

In any way apparently that black stuff is just sucked into the asphalt and you can't clean it off or anything
So repaving is only option

If you want it gone

[lethal yacht]

Yeah

IndyCar can head to the Charlotte Roval

The Oval idk If it's safe for indy

[buoyant shale]

Not sure either

Isn't Charlotte Roval also quite uh, small
In terms of runoff and everything, more meant for club racing

[lethal yacht]

Maybe have like tire Barriers

Like every street course

Best part is about these liveries is that you can see them from miles away
If you see like a row of cars from the top, from a helicopter shot
You can easily see yep that's Goodsmile

[midnight kite]

Goodsmile was so distinguishable in the Spa 24 hours in 2019

Specially that 3 of them had literally anime characters on top view

[buoyant shale]

They did lol

[midnight kite]

The fact that #00 Black Falcon ran Fate livery was

D'STATION is the closest chance we'll see a Weeb livery getting run at Le Mans

They're pretty interesting I will say

It reminds me on how I do the Liverys by add in Characters in TV Shows in GT Sport. Which is really close to that

[spare matrix]

In automobile endurance racing, three events have come to form a Triple Crown. They are considered three of the most challenging endurance races over the decades: the 24 Hours of Daytona, 12 Hours of Sebring, and 24 Hours of Le Mans.

this has been round for quite some time

[tight quiver]

12hr of sebring should be 24hr of nurburgring instead

[eternal ravine]

As someone is who a regular attendee of 2/3 races, I'm shockeded I've never heard of this

[spare matrix]

niiice

[zealous stone]

I only know of the Graham Hill triple crown

didn't know about this

[tight quiver]

I heard about it like 3 days ago

[spare matrix]

Phil Hill was the first in 1964 to win the three races, and Timo Bernhard the most recent (2010).

endurance triple crown^

[zealous stone]

I forgot Amazon has a documentary on Fernando Alonso lol

He only needs to complete the Indy 500

[eternal ravine]

Montoya should really go for that Le Mans win

[spare matrix]

yeah

[eternal ravine]

Imo it's the easiest out of the three

[spare matrix]

i bet he is waiting until the last possible moment to do so

[tight quiver]

Most time to fuck up

[spare matrix]

yeah

[tight quiver]

He could actually win this year

[eternal ravine]

Just convince Toyota to give him a seat

[tight quiver]

One of the toyotas is gonna have problems like usually

Alpine is gonna get lapped

Glickenhaus who

[eternal ravine]

But on the other hand, JPM is not the best at endurance racing. His pace in IMSA is eh

[tight quiver]

The other toyota is gonna have to be taken out by back marker

Then jpm win

[eternal ravine]

Fuck it. Lets make the Four Pillars of Endurance Racing

Daytona
Le Mans
Sebring
and Nurburgring

[tight quiver]

That is better

[buoyant shale]

CART/Indy also had a triple crown for a while

Consisting of the 500s

Indianapolis, Pocono, Ontario Motor Speedway

Then when Ontario closed, replaced by Michigan

2014 the Triple Crown was revived for a bit with the 500s at Indianapolis, Pocono and Auto Club Speedway
But yeah, Pocono is uh, fucking dangerous so is gone from the calendar and Auto Club also is gone from the calendar

[zealous stone]

What's the triple in Motorcycles?

If there is one...

[buoyant shale]

Don't think there's one

Not sure what could qualify for the triple either
Like, would you do Isle of Man TT? idk...

Dutch TT? Is quite major iirc

Idk I'm not too versed on motorcycle racing

@lethal steeple sorry for the pong but aren't you kinda into motorcycles? If so, is there some form of triple crown of motorcycles and if there isn't, what would fit in it?

[lethal steeple]

Macau
TT Assen
Isle of Man TT

I mean, there's a reason there aren't too many major motorcycle racing on yknow, city street circuits

There's basically not a way to make them very safe
Not much space for runoff basically anywhere

Especially no way to get gravel in

Montoya drove the Ganassi #42 in the Cup Series (NASCAR's top level) from 2007-2013

He also ran select races in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2007 and won 1 race at Mexico City (Hermanos Rodriguez)

Unfortunately most NASCAR fans turn a blind eye to his achievements in F1, IndyCar, and suprisingly also his 2007 wins and 2009 Chase appearance because of an incident where he hit a track drying truck during a caution in the 2012 Daytona 500

[modern spade]

u can only hope for a sordo win

[somber compass]

well I prefer toyota

[modern spade]

i just want a Hyundai WDC

[somber compass]

tanak or neuville wdc would be nice

[modern spade]

this stage might yet be a write off

cuz

everyone is having some sorta damage

[somber compass]

just depends who has worse damage

ogier is usually lucky with this kind of thing

[modern spade]

Rally over for the Estonian! He clouted a big rock on the line and the car is too damaged to continue.

wat is unclear is which line

[somber compass]

bad English translation maybe?

it's the wrc website

[somber compass]

hmm

there’s the rock

[modern spade]

holy shit

either a mini earthquake happened

or someone kicked it on the road

[somber compass]

yeah

free Toyota 1-2

[modern spade]

yep

neuville doesn't have the pace to catch even evans

[somber compass]

yeah evans went 8.1 seconds faster than neuville on the current stage

[modern spade]

ogier on his way to another title

[somber compass]

what’s funny is kris meeke said “evans can stop worrying about neuville chasing him and focus on catching sordo” and then it IMMEDIATELY cut to Sordo’s car in a ditch

[modern spade]

i need a clip of that

[somber compass]

it’s WRC2 now so I’ll go and grab it now

Huttinen in 6th now btw

[tacit garden]

Oh so thats why the ambulance drove past me

[tight quiver]

are you at nurbs

[tacit garden]

Yeah

About the middle of the pit straight

The fog is getting ridiculous I can't even see the grandstand in Turn 1 anymore

[normal siren]

looks cold

[tacit garden]

It is

A lot colder than I had thought actually

[solar narwhal]

looks like Malaysia 2009

[zealous meadow]

no

[tacit garden]

Another ambulance just left the paddock?

[fluid edge]

hey whats live?

[warped dome]

nurgurbring 24 rouhs

hours

[open raptor]

It’s so hard to see with this fog

[buoyant shale]

Looks more like Nürburgring 2020 FP1

[tight quiver]

do you have any big screens you can see something at

bro how can they race in this fog

[open raptor]

Yeah this is insane

[buoyant shale]

https://youtu.be/MXlRJ0-ETyI

[tacit garden]

Who needs visibility anyway

[buoyant shale]

Don't need this anymore

[buoyant shale]

Can't even see pit exit wtf

[tacit garden]

That would be juuust behind the screen

[buoyant shale]

Also what I still find funny about the Nürburgring is that they have a fucking rollercoaster standing there in front of the grandstands casually, which hasn't been in operation for years now

[tight quiver]

yeah

it broke and became expensive

[buoyant shale]

It has only operated for like 3 days

Then it broke down again and they closed it

During testing the launch motor exploded lmfao

[empty jasper]

Now it's just a cool set piece

[tacit garden]

And an annoying seperator between track and seats

[buoyant shale]

Iirc they were thinking about fixing it now that the track is doing better financially but it's super low priority

[runic patio]

What's live btw?

[buoyant shale]

24h Nürburgring @runic patio
